👨🏻‍💼 How to find and import leads

Organizing your contacts effectively starts with creating well-structured contact lists. This helps you manage and categorize your contacts more efficiently, essential for targeted outreach.

Step 1 : Creating a contact list is straightforward. Click on the "Contacts" icon in the vertical bar, then select "Import contacts"

✅ Good Practice: We recommend organizing your imports into contact lists and naming them carefully to stay organized.

⚠️ Note: If you have just completed the onboarding process, you might be prompted to import contacts before you can create a list. The option to create a list becomes available after your initial import.

Once your contact list is ready, you can populate it using one of the five options below:

Import leads from a LinkedIn search: This includes leads found through LinkedIn's Sales Navigator
Import leads from a CSV file: Ideal for bulk importing LinkedIn profiles that you've already compiled thanks to other leads generation solutions (e.g., Clay, ZoomInfo, Apollo). This method is perfect for those who have accumulated extensive lists and wish to integrate them seamlessly into Prosp
Import leads from a LinkedIn event: Capture leads from participants or attendees of LinkedIn events
Import leads from a LinkedIn post: Gather leads from users who interacted with a specific LinkedIn post
Import leads from a LinkedIn group: Utilize this option to pull leads from members of relevant LinkedIn groups

Your leads are now imported into your contact lists ✨. It is now time to create your campaign and start connecting with your prospects. Let's launch your outreach efforts and achieve your goals! 🚀

Import leads from a CSV file

Bulk import your LinkedIn profiles that were previously extracted from other lead generation sources like Clay, ZoomInfo or Apollo.

💡 What is a CSV file? A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line of the file is a data record, with each record consisting of one or more fields separated by commas.

This guide assumes that you have already obtained a CSV file ready for import. The following steps will guide you on how to upload it into Prosp.

⚠️ Prerequisite : Ensure that the first row of your CSV file serves as the header, detailing what each column represents. Incorrect or missing headers can lead to import errors.

Step 2: Select "Import from CSV file" within your Prosp dashboard.

Step 3: Upload your CSV file.

Step 4: Our AI will automatically map relevant columns of your CSV to contact variables. Ensure that all columns are correctly labeled to facilitate accurate data conversion.

😊 Custom Variables: we now support the use of custom variables so you can include custom columns to include in your messages :)

Step 5: Assign the imported data to a contact list and click "confirm." Choosing a campaign at this stage is optional.

✨ Well done! Your leads are now imported into Prosp. You're all set to start engaging with your new contacts.

Import leads from a LinkedIn event

Leverage engagement from LinkedIn posts to enrich your contact lists by following these simple steps:

Step 2: Select "Import from LinkedIn post" within your Prosp dashboard.

Step 3: Copy and paste the URL of the LinkedIn post into the designated field on the dashboard. You'll have the option to choose whether to scrape only existing comments and likes or to also include all future reactions. Additionally, specify whether you want to import contacts who liked the post, those who commented, or both. Once your preferences are set, click "Extract and import."

Alternative Method Using the Prosp Extension
